DR. Robert Ward, the State Veterinary
Inspector, recently made visit of inspection
in Cecil county He found the epizooty
prevailing to an alarming extent and of ma
lignant type. Many farmers have lost horses
and mules by it. DR.. Ward advises those
farmers who have not yet been visited by the
disease to make their horses as warm and
comfortable as possible during these sudden
changes, and to give each animal table
spoonful of the hyposulphite of soda in
bucket of drinking water daily, or, if fear
exists, morning and evening iced ON cats,
bran and sweet meadow hay. Be careful,
says DR.. Ward, that the drinking water is
not contaminated.

susquehanna river, below Havre de Grace, are
said to abound with blue-winged teal, which
have been driven southwark by frost from their

on vegetable food and are especially fond of the
seed ofthe wildcats, with which our tide water
marshes abound They are the first ducks to
make their appearance and are highly esteemed

BEL AIR NoTEs.--About thirty ladies' and gen.
tlemen passed last Friday evening very pleasant
ly at the residence of Rev. E. d Finney, Bel
Air. Part of the entertainment was quite novel.
After refreshments most of the party took pos
session of Mr.. Finney's study, turned the lights
low, and commenced seance or mnd-reading
performance, which was rather trying to del
icate nerves. Other games succeeded, some of
a very illusory character, and the evening went
by rapidly. Among the visitors present were
Misses Parker and Brown, of Illinois, Miss Col
die, of New York, Miss Mccormick, of Bati-
more, and Miss Buckley, of Port Deposit.
Mr.. +. J.. Reshneck, of Baltimore opened
on September 1st branch dyeing AMI securing

lately occupied by George Lyle as restaurant.
Mr. Howard Price will have charge of it.

making his way to a window, jumped to the
ground and injured himself. He was taken to

ROME, March 9.-ln an interview
Cardinal Gibbs said that his and

stance confidential. The cardinal
said: ~ am, and ever shall be, an
enemy to plutocracy of soulless cor.

church will take the side of the weaker
against the stronger. In this instance
there is no question of secret societies.
Powderly, and many other chiefs, are
all good catholics. Above all, wish
it known that there is no essential di-
vergence between myself and the
archbishop of Quebec ON the subject.
The French Canadian society is not
that OF the United States, and perhaps
the French ecclesiastic or admistra-
tive mind is more inclined to take
alarm than we, and sees revolution be-

FIRE Is an element that is so COM
mon to western cities that it Is safe
in anticipating frequent and serious
losses from that source. This Is due
entirely to the inflammable material
largely used i'm the construction of
buildings, carelessness, the creature
of haste, in putting houses up, the
desire on the part of property owners
to utalize every available foot of
space in securing means of income
by rentals Of shells, and inadequate
means for coping against fire, so
that when once the flames attain a
good headway the only boundary of
the confiagratiOn is the material up-
on which it feeds. However, fire Is
not always a serious drawback to
growing towns in the mercurial
west. They are generally blessing
in disguise, and the lesson they
teach Is needed and out of the black
ened ruins grows up n class
of structures ornamental and
substantial. Our neighboRing

trust prevades all conventions,
whether there Is reason for it or not.
Candidates are the most suspicious
creatures in the world. They are al
ways finding ga niger in the wood
pile.' They cannot be disappointed,
for they are never willing to admit
of honesty when there is chance of
believing there exists loop.hole for
chioanery. The candidate Is not
alone sufferer from this disease. a
singular reflection on politics is
that the older the politician the
more dlstrustful is he. Nothing es-
capes his watchful eye and the most
innocent act or word is sufficient for
him to construe into q deep-dyed
plan for manipulating convention,
or putting up job. Under these
conditions 1t is no wonder the con-
vention generally fails in harmon
ious action, or that men on:the ticket
it produces finds sturdy opposition
that oftimes results in ignominous
defeat. This is the case in county,
district and state conventions, but is
more conspicuously. pronounced in
local politics, where the name Of
candidates is legion and every as
pirant can depend upon q greater or
less following. However, there is
no other manner to make nomina-
tions that can hope to promise par
tial satisfaction and the people of
Spokane Falls will go into con-
vention during the present month
to select ticket for city officers.
OF course there will be several tick
cts in the field, constructed by po-
litical parties, cllques or clans. and
the struggle will be as desperate as
though the eyes of Il nation were
upon the striving voters and the
very life of the community depend

THE death of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, after only brief illness,
removes one of the most eminent
divines and remarkable men of the
century, q man whose name will go
down in history with those Of the
greatest soldiers, statesmen, authors,
philanthropists, and theologians of
the world. He occupied conspicu-
Gus place i'm the ranks of the elo-
quent and learned men Of the age,
and as such was without a superior,
if he had an equal. His utterances
from the pulpit and rostrum have
attracted attention for their depth
of thought, their boldness of eX-
preston and theories advanced and
advocated. There was q time when
he welded unlimited power in the
denominational body Of which he
was such shining light, but that
has been in Il measure affected i'm
later years from some OF the peculiar
doctrines he has seen fit to advance
i'm relation to future existence. The
American people, however, will
never fail to admire the man as a
preacher, as Il lecturer and as an au-
thor. His was one of those few gil
gantic minds that develop in
the body polite and cause those
about them to dwarf in
com parison. Mr. Beecher had
reached the age of n years, without
a faculty being impaired. Physi-
cally he was fine specimen of man
hood, in keeping with his great
mental calabre. The following is Il
brief sketch of his life, busy and
eventful one, one such as few men
can leave to posterity:
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was
born ut Litchfield, Conn, in 1913,
and after graduating at Amherst
college studied theology under his
father, the celebrated Lyman b..
Beecher, ut Lane seminary, Cincin-
natl. After pastorate of ten years
in two churches in Indiana he moved
to Brooklyn, y. ", and assumed
charge of Plymouth church, ''an
organization of orthodox congre-
gational believers" Mr.. Beecher's 5
reputation as Il writer is second only
to his celebrity rs IL preacher. For
nearly twenty years he was editor of
the New York Independent, and in
1870 he became editor of the Christ
ian Union. lie was also author of
several important works of Il re-
| ligious character.

John Asmus, comparatively
young man who has resided in this
city and vicinity for number Of
years, met with asudden and fright
full death yesterday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock. He was with a friend
walking along the river near the saw
mill when 1t was suggested that
they stop and see the men roll logs
into the river, Of which there are
many on the banks. Some of these
logs are held In place merely by the
ice and a slight thaw would cause
them to give way and roll into the
river. On one of these slightly held
logs Asmus sat down. In few mo-
ments, from his motion likely, the log
started down the bank. The man
Inomentarily realized his danger
and attempted to escape, but with
flash the immense timber was onto
him, and catching his head between
another log the poor fellow was
crushed to death in an instant. The
body fell into the water. Several
saw the terrible accident, and in Il
short time q large number of people
had collected on the ground, among
them several physicians who had
been telephoned for. The body was
Immediately taken from the water,
but the crushed skull proved too
plainly that there was no hopes of
life. For a long time there was con-
siderable doubts as to the identity
of the party, and several who looked
at the corpse stated that 1t was III.
